Thanks Michael. I was hoping some one would jump in with something, but oh well. Great theme.

Thank you Michael. I was out this afternoon; so I couldn't put a theme out there.Is it Love or Is it Lust? Love is fine wine and stuffed mushrooms. Love is dark chocolate shared. Love is chicken soup served to you when you're sick. Lust is a cheap rum and whatever will fill your gut. Lust is dark chocolate given as a lure. Lust is chicken soup without the soul. Sandra E.
A known mistake is better than an unknown truth.

Poetry is not my forte, but here's goes nothing...
Love or Lust?
The mind, the flesh
Both need you now
You know just how
To ease the mind
To please the flesh
Two bodies will collide and mesh
I give, you take
Yet afterwards
What have we left but hollow words?
You say it's more
Than carnal need
I agree to that to do the deed
Love or lust?
Who's to say?
I'm getting laid either way
~Pete

Hey Pete, those last few lines really made me chuckle.
And Sandra, your Love or Lust - right on the money.
Tommy, I've got a theme for the next one if anyone wants to take it up.
"Memories" - how they impact on our lives, shape us, stay with us, false memory etc. You get the gist.
Or, if no-one is into that one - this line from the movie "Married Life" just stuck with me: -
"Whoever in this room really knows what goes on in the mind of the person who sleeps next to you?" Libby

Thanks.
I wrote those lines first, but thought it was better as a finish.

Love or Lust If it's love or lust, it's got my heart on the fritz They both sit well with me, no matter how hot it gets Love is like an elevator, it makes me uplift Lust is like cocaine, it makes my heart skip When I see a woman, 99% of the time it's lust You can find this feeling at your job or on the city bus It usually ends up in well-timed pelvic thrusts And when it comes to lust, it ain't never about us Then there's always that 1% that stands out in the crowd It's not just the body, it's the eyes that astound I mean, you could stare for hours, it's soul by the pound Makes me want to sit down, and write verbs and nouns Describing the ways she makes my mind do the mamba When I picture me and her it don't involve my anaconda Aye cu rumba, love and lust got my mind running like OJ So excuse me if I stutter or jumble up my words, okay?

Not a natural poet - but hey we're letting it all hang out, (so to speak) and if I'm to make suggestions as I did above - may as well throw my hat in the ring. Lust is the greatest pretender. Masquerading as love. Hot, selfish and certain Fast, fervent, wonderful. A slick, sweet, liquid insanity. Its conceit unrivaled. Cloaked in the colour red Repented, too often, in black. Love is … love is languid, slow and sure. Here to stay, not go. Love’s best founded in lust, but when lust is gone to ground, Love is still around.

THE SMALL FURRY ANIMAL SONG I reach out for the chips And your hand touches mine At first I pull back from that invisible line. I look past your elbow Your chest, neck and your chin Past your pouting full lips That turn up in a grin Then into your green eyes But, ah, at such a cost My brain, it just freezes And I feel a bit lost Like a small furry animal Caught in the headlights Of your eyes So bright. Are you staying forever or Will you just leave me As roadside Debris? How can I love you we haven’t said a word? But, oh, it’s you I want I know that sounds absurd. And how I am feeling I couldn’t possibly care If it’s only one night Or every day each year If only I could speak I’d tell you this right now Though all I would say is Meow Meow Meow Like a small furry animal Caught in the headlights Of your eyes So bright. Are you staying forever or Will you just leave me As roadside Debris? It’s then that I can feel A twitch upon on my lips My eyes are moving too My hand stirs round the chips! I pull it out and then give you a shy smile. That’s when you turn away laughing all the while. And now I’m feeling like I just might have to cry. Your tracks along my back Not even a good-bye To the small furry animal Caught in the headlights Of your eyes So bright. Who you haven’t noticed and Then you just left me As roadside Debris.

LC, "memories" sounds like a good theme. Michael, I think that's your best poem so far. Lust it... ah, I mean LOVE it. Like the links on the first post? My poem: Love or lust, Trust or bust. Both involve touch, Loving, sexual and such. Maybe it’s the same, As both involve blame. Love cannot be defined, Yet lust is clear and blind. Are they really that similar? Superficial and beneficial. Genuine is a mindset, a fleeting thought. The main difference is that love can’t be bought.

"Memories" A haiku A thousand and one Lost and gone forever now Wish I had some back I guess I'll just make some more A few are stuck here That do me no good at all Do I really need To recall Mike's friend Boner, Punky Brewster's theme? Or Balki's Cousin Larry? I can't find my keys ~Pete
